This video that isolates John Entwistle's bass on Baba O'riley is so cool! Yet another reason why The Who were such a great band! Listen all the way through- it get better and better! (Audio starts at 1:25)
Cool! I'm not sure about the rock with symphony thing (I've never been a big fan of rock music with orchestration) but hopefully the album will have some good stuff.

I read between the lines. Pete will not tour as greatest hits band again. That's why the new music. At least that's my take.

Good for him! No doubt many fans would disagree, but I thinks that's a smart move.

I'm excited that there's going to be another tour! I'm also cracking up because I don't know how many times I've told people I've been to my last Who show because surely they won't be touring again. I retired recently and the invitation to my retirement reception (written by my co-workers) said that I would be spending my time gardening and following the Who around on tour. Hmm, maybe they knew something I didn't?
I'll be glad to hear some new music although I know some fans won't. On their Endless Wire tour, in 2006-2007, I LOVED so much of the new stuff, especially the mini opera Wire and Glass, Fragments, A Man in a Purple Dress, and Black Widow's Eyes. But one of my friends told me that he would go for a beer when they played "the boring new shit."
As for orchestral Who, I'm curious and looking forward to it. Here's a little sample of Pete doing his composition Football Fugue, that he co-wrote with his former father-in-law, Ted Astley:

it will be super interesting to see how pete and roger pull together a new album and tour with an orchestra. it's got me thinking that the new album will have some orchestral qualities to it and that aint all bad(imo). i could see the live show/tour being in 2 parts/sets. 1st set with a mini orchestra and the 2nd set the rock part. taking a full orchestra out on tour aint cheap and they cant(?) play arenas with an orchestra and have people be quiet and not yell for teenage wasteland all night
I became a "WHO FREAK" at the age of 11 on December 17th 1982. I just woke up on my 48th birthday to the announcement that The Who will tour one more time!!!!! My show will be June 1st Saturday night Toronto. I'm not bothered by the symphony dealeo. This should be amazing!

Being a loooong time Who fan I'll try to be open minded about the orchestration* aspect but I know that will be a stretch for me. I've never been a fan of orchestrated rock. Give me Beethoven or give me The Who! lol. Maybe Pete will surprise me this time.
*The closest I've come to enjoying rock and classical combined was seeing the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble live. The five musicians in that band were Julliard trained musicians who played great rock and roll. Their show included pieces that started out with them playing chamber music on violins and cellos and such and then switching to electric guitars and playing rock. Michael Kamen (who is no longer with us) was in that group and became a fairly well known composer and scored several excellent movie sound tracks). This record by the band is well worth checking out:

Brian, If you don't already have it, try and get your hands on "Roger Daltrey Celebrates The Music Of Pete Townshend". It's actually very good, and will give you an idea of how The Who will sound with an orchestra. You might be able to see some footage on YouTube.

I would love to go just to see Pete windmill one more time... but maybe he doesn't do that anymore!

I will be going, they play Detroit on my birthday, so why not?
Cool, they are playing Dallas the day after my birthday! From the little I've read, Roger is saying don't worry, they will still be playing Who-style. They will feature some Tommy and Quad, along with other songs and the new stuff.

Maybe it was Tomato Juice with a little pepper sprinkled in?
